A long lost precious, little thing

I lifted my paintbrush,
dipped it into the acrylic,
and began to explore.

I moved with unknowing ease,
shaping my creation not with my brain—
but with my heart.

I blended and sharpened edges,
my paintbrush dirty,
my bedroom closed,
my clothes and skin stained—
but my heart felt free.

Like little me,
who once escaped the world
with her rough, raw sketches.

It brought a joy out of me.
It felt like a forest,
and I walked and walked
until I stumbled into a home I had forgotten.

There was no darkness,
no pain,
nothing else—
just me
and my brush
exploring.

No matter how many errors,
I could re-brush,
cover it up,
work on its healing
instead of leaving it behind.

I painted today.
I called it
"Fragility Meets Cosmic Quantum Mysticism"

And I didn’t stop there.
I plan to do more—
to create more.
Because no matter how many times I fail,
I can begin again
with just a splash of colour.

I write and paint now.
Yes,
I write and paint.
What a journey it has become.

Like the flower in the art:
small and fragile—
yet rooted in something intangible,
strong and grounded.

I paint,
and paint,
and paint—
like I should’ve always done.

Darkness can balance itself with light.
And light doesn’t need to overshadow dark.

It may be peculiar,
but for someone like me,
whose worlds slip away moment to moment,
I must thank thee—

for guiding me
to a home I once turned away from.

Everything I know and love
never changed.
Maybe it doesn't have to.
And maybe—
it’s not so scary.

No.
It is not scary.

Coffee with my younger self: II

I went about my way as I abandoned that little girl and left her to beg for help from others, like I once did. Asking, pleading for love and affection. I cannot go back to her. I know I’ve already left her behind. I want her to sleep in peace, to dream beautiful dreams that make her happy. I cannot dream like that, mine are either hollow or nightmares.  She doesn’t deserve to see that. She doesn’t deserve to know. She will find kindness from strangers who take her home. She will eat warm meals, sleep with a full belly, and close her eyes with wonder. I, on the other hand, can barely digest food or I eat like a pig and I dread going to bed. She doesn’t deserve to witness that. Her face is so full of joy, hope, and love. Mine is tired, hollow, and worn. She has to live the life she always dreamed of: smiling, hoping.  I can’t even go one hour without a cigarette. After all the pain I caused her today, I know she’ll still forgive me. She might hate me for an hour or two, but she’...

I Awoke from Morpheus

you glowed and bejeweled the moonflowers, poison filled with illusory hope and serenity. and we both embraced, and we both strangled each other. we burn— oh, we burn so brightly, dear one. and yet, we turned too bright, and thus, we cascade down. no valley of flowers, no iridescent moonlight. no light, no hope— we burned into ashes. there goes my Morpheus, and so shall I cease to be. maybe in another life, we could have been. yes, we could have been. once, the light of my life, now becoming no more than a mere shadow that existed yesterday. there you go, like a dandelion, twirling away like a false prophet to one’s dreams and wishes. if only you had known how fickle words could have been, as people grow— and outgrow them. and yet, we live on, tragically, with beauty and grace.

Champagne Flames and Crimson Roses

Lana Del Rey- Young and Beautiful Heavenly Father, if the road of life leads to heaven, let my lover pass through his beauty outshines this wicked world. His beauty glows, oh, it glows, like the last champagne light at the end of the party. His beauty endures as the world grows colder. And, Lord, let him be your angel, even if I am left to burn. His wings shadow the threshold of infinity. The smallest atoms of his being spill into me like holy wine, filling my soul with a redemption I will never deserve. His heart a crimson rose, opening, bleeding, a bloom that brings me to weeping. His hands, strong as steel, never rusting, yet they could shatter me like glass. And his kiss, oh Lord, his kiss burns my soul with the slow sweetness of damnation, as though my fate were already sealed in the fire that waits below. Such heavenly beauty drags me to the filthiest sins. His love, unending, makes me ache with unworthiness. like a moth unraveling in the flame, knowing I will perish, yet choosin...
